Dave, if you are going to come west from the Vintagers to the NRA Museum, then north to the Antietam Battlefield, keep in mind that the Manassas (Bull Run) National Battlefield Park is only another 20 minutes west of the museum, and that the Gettysburg Battlefield National Park is not far at all from Antietam. You could do a tour on your way home and hit all of them.

Thanks Kevin, Danny and I did Gettysburg after last years Vintagers. It was fabulous! I had been there many years ago but the Park Service has done a wonderfull job renewing the battlefied and the new visitors center is great. Maybe we should do both Antietam and Manassas. I heard Manassas has a great public shooting facility also and that it's worth a stop for a couple of rounds of wobble trap etc.Maybe we will have to save some shells....

Yup, Bull Run Shooting Center is not far from Manassas, just off Route 66. I would choose to shoot at the Prince Georges Trap and Skeet which is on the way between the Vintagers and the National Gun Museum. Both Bull Run and PG are open to the public, but PG is run a bit more professionally and has a nice sporting clays range as well as 14 trap and skeet fields. Of course, PG is not where you would stay over for your historic destinations.
